Event

Join in a friendly small group discussion! Cosmic Conversations work much like a book group. Topics are pre-selected by the group, and are a starting point for the conversation.

The Aurora have been in the news recently. What are they? What causes them? Why are they Northern lights? Where do the colors come from? Why do they shimmer?

Come to Cosmic Conversations and share your questions and knowledge with your neighbors.

Topic information updates: Resource Links

These are non-mathematical discussions designed to “ignite a passion for science through the lens of astronomy."  Free and open to the community, ages 16+. All experience levels welcome.

Register today! This is a hybrid event. Registration Link
